Pins

A member of the NCAW is recognized by the organization’s pins.  There is a pin that bears the same emblem as the flag.  The colors of purple, gold, and green represent symbols of the rising sun, hope and growth, and prosperity that is the dream of every African.  In addition, there is a lifetime membership pin that is awarded after fifteen years of service.  Also, each president wears a special pendant that was introduced in 1975 and was first worn by Mrs. C. M. Mamabolo, who was the National President.  The pendant was presented by Mrs. Manko Kunene on behalf of Natal.  Miss Soga who was declared the Founder and Life President of the NCAW on December 19, 1957 was presented with a green robe by members from the Transvaal region.  Miss E.
